Submission Types

The AGBRP welcomes a diverse range of research methods and is open to papers, presentations, and panels that rely on statistical inference, qualitative data, verbal theory, computational models, mathematical models, literature review, and case studies. We invite you to submit any of the following types of your work to the conference:

Type 1: Collaborative Research and Presentations

• Research collaborations involving input from dual or multiple perspectives including from business, academia, policy-makers, public sector organisations and institutions, NGOs, not-for-profits and communities on business and management issues – particularly those that address issues of risk and uncertainty, collaboration and/ or innovation and technological change.

Type 2: Practitioner Research and Presentations

• Two options are available for practitioners. The first option in this submission type is for presentations that provide a real-world perspective on management issues within organizations; these presentations seek to provide a view of these management issues from the practitioner perspective. The second option in this submission type is for the presentation of original case studies that focus on contemporary, real-world management issues and provide recommendations for management practice and/or education.

Type 3: Academic Research

• Presentations in this submission type will focus on one of the following three areas of scholarship:

1. Basic or discovery scholarship that generates and communicates new knowledge and understanding and/or development of new methods. Intellectual contributions in this category are normally intended to impact the theory, knowledge, and/or practice of business.

2. Applied or Integration/application scholarship that synthesizes new understandings or interpretations of knowledge or technology; develops new technologies, processes, tools, or uses; and/or refines, develops, or advances new methods based on existing knowledge. Intellectual contributions in this category are normally intended to impact the practice of business.

3. Teaching and learning scholarship that develops and advances new understandings, insights, and teaching content and methods that impact learning behaviour. Intellectual contributions in this category are normally intended to impact the teaching of business (in accordance with the AACSB Accreditation Standards).

Type 4: Student Research

• This submission type is for research presentations of student work both graduate and undergraduate that focus on the same scholarship areas as in the Academic Research track. This includes student-led joint faculty and student research.

Type 5: Symposium, Workshop, and Panels

• This submission type is for those who would like to present a workshop in either panel or presentation format and includes themed symposia for presentation of graduate research. These sessions will relate to the Conference themes and enhance positive Conference impact and meaningful take-aways for Conference attendees. Symposia, workshops and panels are, where possible, provided exclusive programming time separate from other presentations and are highly encouraged to envision participation from various disciplines and organizations.
